ELIOT, Maine — For the second year in a row, the town will be bringing an extra measure of fun and games to the holidays with its Game Show Challenge Night on Friday, Dec. 7.

Hosted by the Community Service Department, this year's Game Show Challenge Night will take place in the Eliot Elementary School gym, located on State Road, from 6-8 p.m.

Registration costs $10 for residents and $15 for non-residents.

"Last year, we thought it would be good to have a program that would be enjoyable for kids, while letting their parents get ready for the holidays," said Heather Muzeroll-Roy, director of the Community Service Department. "It turned out to be so much fun that people wanted us to do it again."

The upcoming version of the program promises to be "even bigger and better," according to Community Service Department staff member Kyle Lewis, who will once again serve as master of ceremonies.

"Last year, we had mostly minute-to-win-it type games," Lewis said, "games like who can stack three golf balls on a tongue depressor within a minute."

But for the latest version, the town department will present home-grown versions of classic TV hits such as the "The Price Is Right," "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" for youngsters to enjoy.

"We wanted to make it a little more exciting — activities where kids could team up with friends and have a great time with different challenges," Lewis said.

With the clock quickly ticking away, game show players will have numerous opportunities to test their trivia skills and other talents.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, gift certificates will be awarded to winning contestants. "We're hoping for a lot of fast-paced, high-energy fun," Lewis said.
